1. Refer to "Drivers" tab in Quickpet to install add-on video drivers.
2. Install lxde-0.5.0-lucid.pet to provide taskbar and fallback window manager.
Note: Don't install it if you are not using JWM or IceWM as your window manager. Also, Lucid Puppy 525 users are not required to install it.

If everything went right, then after rebooting, beryl-manager tray icon (a red icon in system tray) will appear in the taskbar. You will be able to enjoy visual effects provided by Beryl and transparent window borders provided by Emerald.
You can change settings through Beryl Settings Manager (Menu>Desktop>Beryl Settings Manager). You can change window borders using Emerald Theme Manager (Menu>Desktop> Emerald Theme Manager).
Emerald themes (files with .emerald extension) can be installed easily by just clicking ( or double-clicking ) on the theme files.

Ok, tried what you suggested, and it didn't do anything. I have found the issue lies with fbpanel. Not sure what the solution to that is though. For now, I am back to not using beryl, too tired to fiddle tonight. Will look again later and see what I come up with.

I did a fresh install of lupu525 and installed beryl without changing anything, and it has the same issue with full screen video. I can go into task manager and turn off fbpanel, which leaves me with the beryl taskbar and start menu, but I don't like it as much. I am used to the default menu!

Beryl doesn't have its own taskbar, the other panel you see is lxpanel, provided by lxde-0.5.0-lucid.pet.
Also try xfce4-panel, it has decent menus and I have no complaints with it.
Sorry for forgetting the link from where I got XFCE. I found it at Lucid Puppy News page, but now link is removed.

After installing Beryl, my fbpanel is lost.

How can i revert it back / removing Beryl, i am so new to lucid, please help.

When i press fbpanel refresh menu and tray, tray is appear but disappear again in less than 1 second.

Please help, i can't monitor my battery level if no tray icons.

The problem is that fbpanel starts before lxpanel, so lxpanel cannot show any tray icons.
The solution is to stop fbpanel from starting at the first place.
Run the following command in terminal:
